Fig. 75 is an enlarged view of paw Referring to the drawings: In Fig. 1, 1 is a base on which the shafts and brackets are fixed. 2--2 are the main brackets for supporting key-board and magazine mechanism.

Ifey-barL-Fig 5, side frames 3-3 of the key-board are bolted to brackets 2 4-4 are key bars fulcrumed at 55. 6(3 are levers fulcrumed at 77. 8 is the spacebar-lever fulcrumed at 9. The upper ends of these levers bear againstthe levers 1010 fulcrumed at 11 and have return springs 10 10*. The ratchet shafts 12 are driven by the round belt 13 from the driving shaft 14, and are for the purpose of lifting the pawls 15 when the lever 10 is pressed forward on striking a key.

a is a cam fastened to the ratchet shaft 12 which acts on the lever 0, held by spring 0, to raise and lower the plate 29, fulcrumed at31, on lever 30. Link d, connecting b and lever 30 at upper end is slotted at c. This permits the plate 29 to be raised by lever 10 independent of cam 01. lVhen the lever 10 is pressed forward by a finger key, the upper end of lever 10 is held by the plate 2%), while the pawl 15 is being raised by a tooth of the ratchet shaft. At the instant the pawl is raised to the extreme height, the cam a, through its lever b, and link (Z, raises the plate 29 and permits the lever to. return to its normal position. The pawls 15 are held by a spring 16 on stop 17. Fig. 0 shows the pawl 15 in the raised position. 18l8 are bars connected to levers e0 Kit-19 and guided by slotted plates 20-80,

acted on by ratchet shaft 12.

a re canrsha Jed bars fastened to levers 25 which are held against a stop Jo--26 by springs 2T--QT. When the pa-Tvl 15 is raised. its end 28 is forced over cam-bar '3 which will then hold the pawls 15 out of contact with the revolving ratchet 12. loollw-i plate is fastened to levers 5 Each man of plate 7' passes through a hole in the plan 29, correspomling to each lever 10. \'\'i1cn the lever 10 is released by plate 29. ii lrilics on the plate 7", which prevents the key from returning to its normal position. A. link Ir. connects the plates f and 7' through an upper extension of lever 9. On lover a project'- ing arm (I. is fastened, the ouu-r cud of which impinges on plate 2-1. When the plate is pressed forward by pawl 15 the plates f are raised by the action of arm (L through lever and the lever 10 falls back to normal position. By this means the preceding key will be held in such a position that it will indicate the last letter struck. 33 is a cover to back of key-board.

[fey-board 25rcmsfcr.-'ll1e ends of levers 19* bear in grooves 35, cut in vertical bars 36, held upward against a stop 37 by springs 38 secured to a bar 89 and to a cross-piece l0, fastened on the vertical bar, which serves as the stop against the stop bar 37. The vertical bars 36 are held in line by guides l-l-i1. Levers 19 are so placed on the bar 21 (Fig. 1,) that the motion of rods 18 operated by finger keys is transferred to rod by another lever 19 on the same rod 21, (see Fig. 1) which corresponds in the magazine to the letter struck on the key-board.

.l[aga2z'ne.-The magazine 42 (Fig. 1 and in Figs. 8. 9. 10, 12 and 13) consists of grooved side plates 43 and i l, bottom plate 1'5, and an upper plate 46. with a slot 4? for a slide. I-lorizontal grooves l8 run the length of the magazine, in which carriers 105 (Fig. 15) connected to the bands of type bars slide. In the vertical grooves in in the plate 44-. Figs. 10 and 1 the stop bars 58 are guided. The carriers 105 are held in normal position by a plate 51 moved vertically by a sliding frame to be hcrcinafter described. Plate 51 is fastened to lcvers 52, fulcrumed on a shaft 53, which slides in a bearing 5- and is fastened by a pin in bearing 55 attached to sliding frame. The plate is held by a spring 56. in the path of the carriers through a slot 57 in back of magazine. The stop bars 58. one for each character on the type bars, have their lower ends in grooves 49. The upper end of slopbar 58 has a groove 59. (Fig. 11.) in which a stop-screw 60 enters, the spring 61 secured to cross bar 63 holding the lower end of the groove against the screw. 62 is a slotted guide-plate for upper ends of bars 58. Cross bars 63-64 (Fig. 5) are secured to the vertical slides 65-455. Racks 66 on the slides ongage with the pinions 67 mounted on shaft
